"Writing from a perspective which respects Christian orthodoxy, scriptural authority, and Anglican tradition, the authors address such pressing issues as the contemporary challenges to biblical authority, the new debate over the Jesus of history and his claim as Saviour, the question fo gender and partnership in changing conceptions of ministry, the promise and impact of charismatic renewal in Anglicanism, the dangers presented to worship by liturgical innovations which fail to respect the centrality of the Book of Common Prayer and its theological premises, the opportunities and impediments for evangelism and cross-cultural mission in Canada's cultural pluralism and multiculturalism, the social mission of the church and the care for creation in a post-industrial world, and biblical teaching on sexuality, homosexuality, singleness and marriage, with a call to Christians for holiness, chastity, and fidelity in an age of sexual permissiveness." --
